Chasing Value: Huaneng Power reports 80% drop in earnings -- stock up

Watching one of your largest holdings go up in value is a vision of joy. The same is not true on the way down. Huaneng Power ADS (NYSE: HNP) is indeed way down from its high of $57.50. I recommended the stock last year at $26.50 and looked brilliant until last month when it completed retracing its upward trajectory back to that level.

The company reported an 80% drop in earnings attributed to higher coal costs Tuesday. However, today the value buyers must be back in droves because the stock closed up almost 16% as one of the day's big movers. The stock closed at $30.25, up over $4 per share. The following three-year chart captures the drama.
